9 d. ago Toronto's Union Station now surrounded by ugly concrete anti

Giant concrete blocks now surround Toronto's Union Station, the utilitarian product of a terrorist attack that shook the city seven years earlier.Pedestrians passing the city's primary transit hub have likely noticed these prominent anti-terror barriers in recent months, just the latest round of work at the perpetually under-construction Union Station.The new barriers will replace temporary concrete dividers that have surrounded the station for years.Jersey barriers were first installed around the hub in 2018 in the wake of the tragic Toronto van attack, where a man driven by "incel" ideology slammed a rented van into pedestrians along Yonge Street in North York, resulting in 11 deaths and 15 more people injured.While the barriers have indeed made it impossible for cars to be utilized as weapons in the high-traffic area along Front Street, the ad-hoc design and placement of these security measures did not exactly make them pleasant to look at.The barriers were...

1 week ago There's a secret hack for getting Toronto Maple Leafs playoffs tickets for cheap

Any Toronto Maple Leafs fan who lives close enough to Scotiabank Arena has probably complained at least once in their lifetime about the high ticket prices, particularly in the playoffs.Looking at the resale market for playoff tickets for this year, whether you were looking to see the team in Toronto or Ottawa, you couldn't get in for a price cheaper than at least $300 or so.But if you are willing to be a little bit patient, things might just swing in your favour — and save you a few bucks toward finding your way into the building.During Sunday night's Game 1 against the Ottawa Senators, prices showed for as little as $151 on StubHub in the minutes after puck drop during the opening frame.If you waited until the end of the first period, the cheapest price for a standing room ticket in the upper deck had gone down to $85 at 7:48 p.m. By 8:14 p.m., those same tickets had dropped to $83, and at 8:18 p.m., they'd been put up at $67, perhaps uncanny ...
